What If… Puzzle Book — A Journey of Hope, Healing, and Human Connection

In a world where stress, screens, and silence have replaced connection, two women — Anne Scola and Tolu Abolaji — have created something extraordinary: a puzzle book that heals the mind and rekindles the heart.

What If… Puzzle Book is not just a collection of word searches. It is a story of friendship, resilience, and rediscovery — born from pain, revived through compassion, and now inspiring readers across continents.

The book began in Chicago, where Anne, living with multiple sclerosis, found solace in creating word puzzles. Years later, those forgotten pages were rediscovered by Tolu Abolaji who saw not just puzzles, but purpose. Tolu, also a certified project manager, knew exactly what to do with the pieces of word search puzzles. Together, they completed the dream — transforming it into a published work now available in Nigeria.

“This book reminds us that healing doesn’t always come from medicine — sometimes it comes from meaning,” says co-author Tolu Abolaji. “We wanted to give people something simple yet powerful — a way to pause, reflect, and reconnect.”

“Every puzzle carries a message,” adds Anne Scola. “It’s about hope, gratitude, and the beauty of asking What If…”

Now available nationwide, What If… is being embraced not only by readers but by schools, churches, and organizations seeking tools for mental wellness, family bonding, and intentional living. From Lagos traffic to quiet evenings at home, Nigerians are discovering that What If… is more than a book — it’s a moment of calm in a noisy world.
